Dr. Ignacio de La Vega

My mother, niece and I have been patients for 5 years - found him through his great Yelp reviews. Very happy with his work on my Crown, bedside manner, clean office & his mother is from England so his English is perfect. My insurance reimbursed me for his work - he filled out the forms. What more can I ask? Great work at about 1/3 the price in California.

2 root canals, 2 crowns, fillings

I have seen Ignacio for about 6 years. He is funny. Always cracking jokes. But all jokes aside a great dentist, even greater guy. My first time down I didn't have enough for a cab back to the border and he paid and called. He has always worked with me as I am a student. Will always go here. You should too. TJ is NOT a scary place. It just doesn't have building codes like the states do, so it looks different. Ignacio is also located across from an elementary school and down the street is a park.

1 cleaning, 1 deep cleaning, 3 crowns, 1 bridge, 1 extraction, 3 root canals

My partner and I had the most positive experience either one of us have ever had with a dentist. It's been over a year since our treatments and we have had no problems with our teeth. Dr. de La Vega was extremely skilled and professional, completing an exceptional amount dental work at each visit shortening the number of visits necessary. We loved Dr. de La Vega as a dentist and as a person. We heard numerous reports of praise for Dr. de La Vega from his patients in the waiting room of his friendly office. I can't recommend him more highly.

crowns, bridges, extractions, remedial work

I must admit, like so many, I was very extremely frightened at the thought of going to a dentist in Tijuana, I was “dragged” there by a friend and to my delight, the experience was life saving. Here is my story:

A few years ago I was gravely ill with an implant that failed causing an infection that was life threatening. The dentist that originally performed the work let me down, and did nothing to help me. On my first visit to Dr. de la Vega for a consultation he refused to let me leave his office until he at the least removed the source of the infection. I hesitantly agreed, I was after all there only for a consultation and felt that he was rushing me, giving me a “sales pitch”. He explained exactly what he was going to do step by step, he told me how many visits it should take and how much it would cost. I am very pleased with the results, the price, the amount of time and the number of trips it took to accomplish my new beautiful smile. I have never, before Dr. de la Vega, had a dentist that truly cared, contacted me throughout the procedure or was so personable.

In the years since my treatment, I have taken about 10 people to Dr. de la Vega and each and every one of them has had the same great experience. I bring them to their appointments not only to make them feel more comfortable about their ordeal and usually the first trip is a scary thing for most of them because of all the media hype about the dangers of going to Mexico.

I park on the US side, walk across the border and take a 5 minute, $5 taxi ride to the office.

The small office is clean and pleasant, he even has magazines in English in the waiting room. Dr. de la Vega and his associates will make you feel very comfortable. Each and every one of them is trained and knowledgeable.

Dentures,

Very pleased with his work, good communication. Going back for more work to be done September 2012 Looking forward being there again John W
